Giovanni Ribisi is the latest name to join the cast list of Selma.

Selma is a biopic movie about Martin Luther King, and Ribisi will take on the role of Lee C. White, an adviser to John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson.

The movie is directed by Ava DuVernay and tells the story of a group of black marchers who attempt to walk from Selma, Alabama, to nearby Montgomery in order to gain the right to vote in 1965.

However, the protesters find themselves in the crosshairs of the police.
